Skills:

Agile – Raised on the streets and rather small in stature, Cassius went with what he learned, and stuck with it. He is quick on his feet and capable of reaching heights in a rather impractical manner.

Stealth – Over the course of almost two decades, Cassius has honed his ability to move and be unheard and unseen. He can be quite the ghost at times.

Lockpicking – As would be expected from any proper thief, Cassius is decently skilled at lockpicking, and is capable of picking the types of locks you generally find in Strongboxes in the Gildren district.

Pickpocketing – Another skill generally known to be employed by a proper thief; Cassius is also rather good at lifting objects from unsuspecting men, particularly coin purses and satchels.

Flaws:

Open combat – Although unafraid of engaging or even killing another person if need be, Cassius will generally opt to attack from the shadows. If engaged in open combat, he will more than likely attempt to escape by any means necessary.

Untrusting – A product of his own nefarious deeds, Cassius will rarely trust anyone with more than basic knowledge or information. Due to this he can be quite hard to work with at times.

Unloyal – Once again a product of his own nefarious deeds, Cassius is generally an untrustworthy fellow, and is more inclined to care about himself and lining his pockets than helping out a so-called 'friend'. There are few exceptions for this, the primary of which is when it will help him in return.

Physical Description

Slender in frame but rather tall in stature, Cassius appears as a thin young man with an eerie aura following his presence closely. Although slender in nature, it is clear that he has some definition in his physique due to the way he presents himself, along with how he moves when motivated to do so. He is adorned with brown, curly hair along with a rough shave, usually in the form of a light stubble.

Short Backstory & Personality

Born to the streets and left alone rather early in life, Cassius' tale is that of a simple one. He was a child-beggar for a significant part of his life, at least up until he was six or seven; It was soon after that Cassius had learned of another way to feed himself, and that was through stealing. Primarily at the time it was food from stalls, blankets, anything that he could swipe that he needed to survive. As he grew, his thievery turned from necessity and more into a job of sorts, not only surviving off of his nefarious deeds, but actually prospering enough to make a living.

As he got better, he began to make more of an impact, eventually meeting fence contacts that could give him more bang for his buck, and also they were substantially less dangerous as before he sold his goods through back-alley deals. As his life progressed, he made a bit of a name for himself in Estavyr as a thief, and this was furthered as he was unafraid to take some of the more risky endeavors given to him in order to make a profit. Now, at the age of twenty-six, Cassius is doing what he's always done; The main difference now being he's looking for the big scores, the things that can finally take him up a district.

After many years of thievery and nefarious activities, the line between moral and immoral are so blurred for Cassius that they might as well not exist for him. The entirety of his being suggests that he has little moral compass, and has little care for one, as what he does in life seems to have little to no effect on his conscious. He cares little for loyalty or honesty and believes too much of either is pointless, not to mention stupid; It seems the only loyalty Cassius holds is to himself.

Inventory

Quality : Poor – Common – Reliable – Potent – Awesome – Epic

Weapons:

Two steel Broad Daggers – Two broad daggers made of standard steel. They are well-balanced and of military design, obviously meant to be sidearms for soldiers or a simple personal defense tool for a standard man. Although nothing special, they are generally coated in poison if Cassius is expecting battle.

A blackjack club – A small and easily concealed wooden club with black leather wrapping and a small lead weight attached to the end. Used primarily by Cassius as a non-lethal weapon; This is his preferred weapon for stealthy approaches, where leaving a dead guard is most likely more problematic than an unconscious guard.

Five throwing knives – Five small, balanced iron throwing knives generally found on Cassius as a 'just-in-case' set of weapons. Although sharp, they are generally more of a deterrent than a lethal set of weaponry. Like the daggers, they are occasionally coated in poison.

Armor & Apparel:

Black Hood and Face Wrap – A simple black cloth hood with a dark brown face wrap usually used to conceal Cassius' identity. Although almost useless for protecting against any sort of weaponry, it makes an excellent rain cloak.

Black Leather Set – A set comprised of a curiass, gloves, greaves and boots; All made of hardened leather and dyed a darker shade of black to further help conceal himself in the darkness. Due to the armors relatively good make, it is capable of stacking light slashes and strikes, but most likely little else. Cassius doesn't wish to test it further if possible.

Miscellaneous:

Small bottle of poison – The poison of choice employed by Cassius on occasion due to its reliability. If ingested or otherwise put into the body via alternative methods, such as a quick strike from a dagger coated with it, the target will generally start to feel incredibly nauseous and delirious within a matter of a minute or two. It is not lethal unless a large amount is administered, which is the primary reason Cassius finds it so effective for general use.

Lockpicking tools – A set of tools made of fine materials that is essential to many of Cassius' burglaries. Good quality and reliable in make; Cassius would never leave home without them.
